[ryfitaDF]

^no it isnt. its a key cause of lung cancer. have you been living in a hole?

i've never heard of a case of cancer that was caused by second hand smoke.

[*tweeak*]

i've never heard of a case of cancer that was caused by second hand smoke.

well how much research have you done into the topic of looking up death by second hand smoke. because it happens. people die from second hand smoke. its a proven fact.

[ComradeRed]

The average person inhales so little secondhand smoke over a lifetime that it's hard to pin the exact cause of cancer on secondhand smoke.

[ryfitaDF]

^ the smartest person here is on my side. i win

hehe

and, actually, i have done research and i've seen no cases of lung cancer or any type of cancer, for that matter, that were attributed to secondhand smoke.

[azn_r4pf4n]

iites, my turn.

i rlly dont think smoking would b ban, we'd end up in another Prohobition-like nation.

crime rates increased bak in the 1930's when prohobition was introduced sadly, cuz pplz were VERY ADDICTED to alcohol. crime rates would possibly increase if smoking was banned. i would think smoking shouldn't have ever been invented, the only thing society can do is help smokers quit.

**EDIT**

interesting debate, by the way.

[sadolakced acid]

smoking's a lot better than snuff - where you snort ground dried tabacoo leaves.

[kantoaznboi]

aye, some of u r so naive

i TA 4 a health teacher 4 nearly 3 years, i kno this stuff

2nd hand smoke kills. My teachers grandma died from cancer that she got from the 2nd hand smoke from my teachers grandpa. he still ived 20 yrs after her death. imagine the pain he went through. he didnt die from it cause he had a special gene that allowed him 2 not get cancer of the lungs.

now if u not gunna change something about smoking and 2nd and smoke, r u willing 2 kill someone u love over a nasty habit? u have 2 live wit the rest of ur life knowing u took a life when u could have stopped.

if u wanna kill urself and put tar in ur lungs, have bad breath permentantly, ultimately get lung cancer, shortness of breath cause the tiny lil air sacks bursts, etc, thats fine, u chose to do that, and not make the non smoker suffer.

[sadolakced acid]

first off, there is no special gene that allows you to not get cancer.

because when DNA divides, the ends are shortened. each division shortens them. the only cells that build them up again are cancer cells and stem cells.

so his lungs are... cancer or stem cells... both of which cannot allow for gass exchange.

[xnastyninjagrlx]

I really really have a pet peeve for ppl who smoke..but..
you can't change ppl's choice by one law..we have so MUCh
laws and everyone breaks them everyday. ppl who smoke
just have to realize that they are cutting their life short everytime
they take a puff and it's THEIR choice to give it up...

altho it would be nice if most ppl would stop..

[*instantmusic*]

if i smoked i couldnt do my PT every 2 days. 3 miles is a bizatch. Hoorah 22 minutes. hoorah laziness...

[*Statistik*]

Smoking is people's choices..whether they smoke or not, they make the choice..but still smoking should be banned..bad for your health

[Shattered_Hope]

no..people can do whatever the hell they want..i mean years ago the U.S. wanted to ban alcohol..well it wasnt that great so they had to repeal the amendment....people dont need more rules...they need freedom.

[smthngcrprategrl...]

at this point you can't ban it. there are to many people in that industry and many people would lose their jobs and the job rate would go straight down again. also there are many older citizens that have been addicted so long that if they quit it might kill them.

[miss barnes]

i dont think it should be be banned period, just in certain places

[Kriegsgefangene]

Smoking or non. I don't care. As long as they don't smoke around me, or try and get me to.

I don't care if people go off killing themsleves. That is their business, they should know what consequences are going to be upheld before they start.

Other than that, Don't worry about it.

We have our freedom, smoke your heart out, it doesn't matter....

[demolished]

a little smoke can do alot of damage to your body, even if its one seconds ... i think smoking should be banned everywhere in U.S beside smoking at home cus it make me sick and make me cought alot when i'm outside. i have alot of smoker in my street, make me dizzy

[sadolakced acid]

smoking can be banned in public places.


but restraunts, shopping malls, etc. these should be owner disgression...


if you don't like the smoke, leave.

[audory]

smoking is horrible, but it shouldn't be banned. if you made it illegal, people will still do it. it's an addiction, making it illegal won't make people stop.

[*x____duckii*]

^ second hand smoke is actually virtually harmless.
but that doesn't mean it doesn't suck!

No it isn't. Did you know that second hand smoke actually does more harm than actually smoking itself?

Well, I don't really think it should be banned. Think of all of the problems that would be caused. I mean, if people are dumb enough to smoke and risk their health, well it's their choice. And it's not like if smoking cigs were made illegal would stop people from doing it.

[heyyfrankie]

i think it should be banned, because my grandpa just died because of lung cancer, caused by smoking. but we all know that it will NEVER be banned.

[KissMe2408]

I don't think it should be banned totally, but i think it should be banned from public places so ppl don't have to be in contact with secondhand smoking

[Shattered_Hope]

i dont think it should be banned. people have a right to do what they fricking want.

[kantoaznboi]

i dont think it should be banned. people have a right to do what they fricking want.

it is true that ppl have a right 2 do wat they want, but when that right begins 2 harm others or put others in danger, u no longer have that right.



and Frankie_08 is rite. Phillip morris(i think its them, not sure) is one of the leading cigarrette distributors and they own many companies that are quite powerful, such as kraft. if you take down phillip morris, you take down those companies as well and it will most likely bring our economy down severly.

[ApunBindaas]

I don't care if people smoke, just have respect for non smokers like me.
